The Full version is for installing a brand new version of FreeSurfer. It
includes binaries, support files, and sample data, including talairach
data and MINC binaries.

The Update version contains only binaries and support files that change
from version to version. It contains a script that will compare each one
to the version you have installed and if different, backup the existing
version and copy in the new version. However it should only be used if you 
have a working installation already.

The Full version is about twice as big a download as the Update version.

If you already have an existing intallation and don't want to get an
entirely new installation, use the Update version. However, it will update 
all of your existing binaries to new versions.
